Today I'm going to run you through creating Italian Meringue. It's a light, sweet tasting treat that can be whipped up in minutes and doesn't require cooking in an oven. This meringue differs in texture to the French meringue that you can bake until hard.

I had a go at about half the recipes in the book and some of the end products were so good.

It is common to use vanilla bean in this recipe; however, you can easily get creative and add different flavours such as coffee or raspberry.

Too much gelatine and you'll get a rubbery textured panna cotta which noone will enjoy; too little and your dessert will topple ...

These bars taste a lot like lamingtons, only they have a nice cool ice cream interior instead of sponge cake. They're really easy to make and last longer in the freezer than most home made ice cream thanks to the chocolate coating.

Zabaglione, also known as Zabaione, is a classic Italian dessert that's similar to custard and can be served warm or chilled. The main difference from custard is that you'll whisk this dessert long enough to create a light, mousse-like consistency. You'll only need three ingredients to make Zabablione: egg yolks, sugar and wine (or spirits). You can whip up this dish in under half an hour and no churning is required in an ice cream maker so it's great if you're short on time.Zabaglione is ...
